Hobart Roof Restorers
Hobart, TAS
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
There isn't much here to hang a judgement on, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up. Hobart Roof Restorers has a perfect 5.0 on Google — but from just two reviews. Only one of them is clearly about this firm: a couple who got excellent pre-purchase advice on the state of a roof and a prompt written quote for its repair. That's a genuinely useful data point, but it's one data point.
The second review muddies things rather than helping. It's a glowing write-up — but of 'Michael at Tasmanian Roofing Specialists', a different, registered Hobart company. Either a customer left their praise on the wrong profile, or the two brands are connected behind the scenes; the ABR shows Tasmanian Roofing Specialists Pty Ltd (registered September 2024) also holds the name 'Roofing Hobart Tasmania', so there's clearly a family of similar roofing brands operating around Hobart right now. Public records don't tell us where this one fits.
The paperwork doesn't settle it either. 'Hobart Roof Restorers' isn't a registered business name on the ABR, there's no ABN on the website, and the listed address is level 5 of a Davey Street office building rather than a yard or workshop. Their site claims more than two decades of experience and offers full warranties with a money-back guarantee on repairs — all of which may be true, but none of which we could verify against any public record under this name.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ One of the two reviews is about a different company
The Frances Mackay review — half of this profile's entire review base — describes hiring 'Michael at Tasmanian Roofing Specialists', which is a separate registered company (Tasmanian Roofing Specialists Pty Ltd, ABN 38 680 939 440, TAS 7015) that also holds the business name 'Roofing Hobart Tasmania'. Either the review landed on the wrong profile or the brands share an operator; we can't tell from public records. Combined with no ABR registration for 'Hobart Roof Restorers' and no ABN on their site, we'd want the business identity cleared up before hiring.
Business registration
No verified ABN on file
We couldn't match Hobart Roof Restorers to a single ABN on the public register with confidence. Rather than show a number we're unsure of, we've left it blank — and the identity check scores 0 out of 25 in their Trust Score, which is why it sits below firms we could verify. We couldn't verify an ABN. 'Hobart Roof Restorers' isn't a registered business name on the ABR, and their website displays no ABN. The nearest thread we could pull: one of their two Google reviews describes hiring 'Michael at Tasmanian Roofing Specialists' — and Tasmanian Roofing Specialists Pty Ltd is a real company (ABN 38 680 939 440, registered Sep 2024, TAS 7015) that also holds the business name 'Roofing Hobart Tasmania'. Whether that company operates this brand isn't clear from public records, so we're not asserting a match — ask them directly.
Checked against the official Australian Business Register (abr.business.gov.au). A business can trade legitimately without a registered business name matching its trading name, so this isn't a mark against them — but it's worth asking for their ABN before you engage. If this is your business, claim this listing to add your ABN and we'll verify it.

Who you'll actually deal with
The team — nobody is named
Nobody is named anywhere we could find. The website says you'll be 'dealing directly with a local roofer' and describes a locally-owned operation with more than twenty years of experience — those are the firm's own words, with no names, licence details or ABN attached, and no about page we could pull a person from.
The only human named across the two Google reviews is Michael — but in the review that's actually about Tasmanian Roofing Specialists, a different registered company, so we can't fairly attach him to this brand. If you call, it's worth simply asking who you're dealing with and which registered business your invoice will come from.
What clients say
In their own words
Provided excellent advice regarding that state of the roof of a house i was considering purchasing and was prompt to prepare a quote for its repair.
With one clearly-attributable review, the only theme available is a good one — sharp pre-purchase roof advice and a prompt written quote — but it's a sample of one.
Best for
- A quick, low-stakes second quote on a repair — their one verified reviewer got prompt, useful advice
- Pre-purchase roof assessments — the single clearly-attributable review praises exactly this
- Homeowners happy to do their own vetting on the phone before committing to anything
Less suited for
- Anyone who wants to verify who they're contracting with — no ABR registration under this name, no ABN on the site, and an office-building address
- Big-ticket re-roofs or restorations paid by deposit — there's no verifiable track record under this brand to lean on
- Anyone choosing on reviews — there are two, and one is about a different company
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's your ABN and registered business name? We couldn't find 'Hobart Roof Restorers' on the ABR.
- Are you connected to Tasmanian Roofing Specialists or Roofing Hobart Tasmania? One of your two Google reviews describes hiring them.
- Your site mentions more than twenty years of experience — under which business name, and can you point me to past local jobs or references?
- Who exactly would come out to my roof — can I have the roofer's name and Tasmanian licence details before booking?
- Your site offers full warranties and a money-back guarantee on repairs — can I see those terms in writing, and which entity stands behind them?
Bottom line
The one verified customer experience is genuinely positive, but that's the entire evidence base — an unregistered brand name, no ABN, an office-tower address and a review that belongs to a different company mean you should treat this as an unverified operation and ask the identity questions before handing over a cent.
